VSCode auto suggest latest versions pip requirements.txt

Identify an unkown feature

On a previous VSCode installation (OSX Vscode 1.7.x), a feature was enabled that auto suggested the 3rd party dependencies in the pip requirements.txt file.

I am on a fresh install of VSCode(1.71.2 linux) and have both

  • Microsoft Python(v2022.16.1)
  • Pylance(v2022.10.20)

extensions installed, but the feature of "auto suggest latest versions" is not showing/working.

My google-foo is failing to locate either what "extension" provided that feature, or if already installed, how to install it. I don't know what it is called.

It "behaves" like an auto suggest above the 3rdparty==1.2.3 library entry. and also marks ones with CVE's in red.

It always auto-detected requirements.txt and requirements-*.txt files.

Any help is much appreciated.
